2012 CHATTANOOGA CROSS COUNTRY
Bill Gautier
Head Coach • 22nd Year • Western Kentucky, 1983
At the helm of Chattanooga cross
country and track and field, Bill Gautier
has established himself as one of the
top coaches in the Southern Conference
and perhaps the Southeast.
In 20 years, Gautier has led his men’s
cross country teams to four league
titles and seven runner up finishes.
His 1998 men’s SoCon Championship
team also captured the South Region
crown and made school history as
the only UTC team to compete in the
NCAA Championships. The Mocs were
led by Nic Crider, who became the
first Chattanooga runner to earn three
straight SoCon individual titles. Last
season Emmanuel Kirwa became the
second with his third straight SoCon
Cross Country title.
The women’s cross country team
has seen similar success with seven
titles and four runner up finishes.
Former distance runner Shannon
Wommack is the most decorated
Chattanooga runner in school history.
She is a five-time All-American, fourtime Southern Conference Indoor
Track Performer of the Year, three-time
Southern Conference Cross Country
Runner of the Year and the 2006
Southern Conference Women’s Athlete
of the Year.
She became UTC’s first three-time
qualifier for the NCAA Cross Country
Championships, earning automatic
qualifications at the NCAA South
Regional in 2002, 2004 and 2005.
Wommack also finished third in the
3,000 meter steeplechase at the
2006 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field
Championships, setting a new school
record, while earning her second AllAmerica honors in that event.
In 2007, Gautier saw another one of
his runners, Lanni Marchant, earn the
program’s second straight Southern
Conference Women’s Athlete of the
Year Award.
Gautier’s first of two Indoor Coach
of the Year honors came in 1998, when
his women’s team claimed the title and
his second in 2003, when his women’s
team amassed the most points in
school history for a third place team
finish.
Chattanooga has won numerous
individual championships and topathlete honors over the years. Steven
Kocsis wrapped up his junior season
with a third top athlete crown winning
two distance events at the conference
championships and then earning an atlarge bid to compete in the men’s 5,000
meters at the NCAA Championships,
along with Wommack.

In 2005, Wommack became
the seventh Chattanooga track and

“Scrappy” Moore Award since 1992.
This award is given to the UTC studentathlete who best personifies the
athletic department’s core values.
Past track and field winners include Ian
Mayne (2004), Amanda Lynch (1999),
Anna and Catherine Wright (1998),

1998, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007), four
times for men’s cross country (1998,
1999, 2003, 2004) and twice for indoor
track and field (1998, 2003). He earned
All-Region honors in 1998, for his men’s
cross country team.
Prior to his arrival at Chattanooga,
Gautier served as the head cross
country coach and assistant track
coach at Southeast Missouri State. In
his six seasons at SEMO, his men’s and

seasons.

Anneli Morrison
Assistant Coach • First Year • Somerville, Australia • Chattanooga, 2010
Anneli enters her second season as the
assistant coach for the cross country and
track and field teams.
She was a nine-time all-conference
performer for the Lady Mocs with a pair of
top 10 finishes in the women’s 5-kilometer
cross country races.
The four-time Southern Conference
Outdoor Track champion in the 800 meter
(twice) and 1500 meter (twice) was named
the 2010 SoCon Outdoor Track Athlete of
the Year after winning both. She qualified
in her junior year for both events after
winning each. However, the NCAA reformatted qualification standards for the
region meet by dropping the number of meets from four to just two – East and
West – and eliminating automatic qualifiers. Based on her time in the 1500 meter
event, Uys earned a spot at the East Region meet her senior year. She also holds
the school record for the outdoor track 800 meter run with a time of 2:08.99
clocked in the prelims of the event in 2009 at the league championships.
In Indoor Track, Uys was a three-time all-conference performer with a third
place finish in the Mile and twice with the school’s Distance Medley Relay (DMR)
team. In her senior year, she led the team from eighth place all the way to a
second place and all-conference finish as the anchor of the DMR.
She was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team and was a member of
the Southern Conference All-Academic Teams. She was a member of the Dean’s
List while at UTC and named to the
Athletics Director’s Honor Roll.

WHAT’S A MOC?
THE EVOLUTION OF THE MASCOT
THE ANSWER
For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers
of Chattanooga Athletics.
The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from
Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the
nickname “Mocs,” and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized
UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and
incorporated the Tennessee state
bird.
The term “Moc” is short for
“Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are
fiercely territorial creatures which
protect their homes with courage, Introduced in 2008, the new-look Scrappy has
determination and skill. Those a sharper and more modern feel, mirroring the
growth and image of UTC Athletics.
attributes reflect the intellect, spirit
and character of UTC student-athletes
and alumni. A Moc is a champion on
the playing surface, in the classroom
and, most importantly, in life.
SCRAPPY
Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the
Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts
Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, a mockingbird. The
mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It
is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be
venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once described by “Late
Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a
heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
WHY MOCS?
Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity
to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics
department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new
direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the
politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery.
Several identities have been used
in the past. With the old nickname
“Moccasins,” a snake was used in the
1920s and an Indian was used until
the year of major change in 1996. A
moccasin shoe was even used in the
1980s.
In 1996, it was decided to adopt
the State Bird of Tennessee, the
Mockingbird, as the core of the The “Power C” logo is the primary mark of
new identity, while incorporating Chattanooga Mocs Athletics.
the strong regional imagery of
Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a
new emphasis was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.
The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have
a great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to
simply “Mocs.” Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics
programs and initiatives around this new identity.
And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February
1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball
Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach for the next level.
From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train.
The secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into
the logo. This logo is affectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring
to the front lower grill of the train that helped push objects from the train
tracks.
In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new
C logo, the “Power C” as it has become known to fans and alums, was created
as the primary mark and is emblazoned on the side of the football team’s
helmets. The secondary marks were updated with a more modern look, and
a new font, unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos
and marks.
In September 2008, Scrappy was rebranded to better match the image
of a mockingbird and reflect the rich
tradition of our state, our city and our
University. New marks of the head
as well as a full body were released.
The program has also been taking
special efforts to stay true to its color
palette—which includes navy blue The Cowcatcher logo has been recently modified,
and old gold.
